Hello all, One of my librarian pet peeves is students doing " wild and wooly" searches on the Internet Frontier with no thought to search strategy and critical evaluation of information. As librarians and teachers, we do our best to bring civilization to the teen masses and employ any tools we can to teach information literacy skills. Lauren Fairchild, English teacher at West, found an interesting and fun tool. It's an interactive tutorial on web evaluation and she and other teachers are using it with students. It's from Vaughn Memorial Library at the Acadia University, Nova Scotia. VML also has a tutorial "You Note It, You Quote It ! and one on searching. Check it out at: http://library.acadiau.ca/tutorials/webevaluation/ Geralyn Geralyn B.
